As usual, I'm as far out of the loop as I can be and still be in the correct universe(?). Annihilation TPB is the first 6 issues of 2007 Nova? How many since then? I have to order mine, I can't get to a store. --Previous Message-- : : --Previous Message-- : So i couldn't make it to my LCS this week. : Anybody care to spoil me please??? : : Here you go, will try to be less specific as : not to ruin your enjoyment after reading : spoilers... : : NOVA 12 was a excellent issue! : http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=8541 : : http://www.marvel.com/news/all.3081.Weekend_Preview~colon~_Nova_%2312 : : Some page by page reactions... : : s : : p : : o : : i : : l : : e : : r : : s : : : Brillaint cover. Poser aspect for marketing. : Context aspect with Siredam parts for faded : background. : : There are exceptions to my pet peeve of : unnecessarily forcing splash pages on us : patrons, ESPECIALLY consecutive ones -- this : is one of them. The opening sequence really : gave the scope of the big battle. The art by : MrPelletier has been conistently enjoyable : since the old OUTSIDERS days up 'til his : latest FF gig. The narration set up help : balance the pet peeve with it's quality and : quantity. Less was more in this case. : : While the excellent art really made the : Technarch designs and also the advanced bad : Phalanx Virus effect looked really bad -- in : a good way. : : Warlock's sacrifice was a truly beautiful : moment. : : As soon as Warlock gave his lifeglow, : predicted that Marvel was either letting : Adam solely own the name by killing Warlock : and make Tyro the MU hero-technarch ooor : Nova would find a way to siphon the energy : after destroying the Siredam to reboot : Warlock. The actual fate of Warlock was a : clever turn of events that made for an : exciting story. : : "GOOD TO KNOW." :D Another : perfectly place splash page moment. Had me : soaring in my seat. : : A 'healthy' dose of 4 wicked battle pages : highlighted by the Nova/Worldmind banter. : : Followed by 3 MORE pages of wicked battle : pages highlighted by the heartfelt reaction : the meatbag to the ungrateful %$&&%'s : actions. : : "BLUE BLAZES." : : Then Richard cures Drax and Gamora. : Heroically didn't hesitate either. Two : unexpected aftereffects. 1, Drax gets to : deliver a couple witty comebacks, maybe gets : a personality worth reading. And 2, Gamora : is surprisingly upset, in a logical and : plainly stated way. Wonderful story moment : and issue wrap up. : : A new FANTASTIC FOUR for Mr Pelletier to : draw! Can't wait for Conquest 6, too! : : : Take the newest BATO POLL: : : Enter a caption contest: : : :
